Garcia, who has been working with Freddie Roach and Eric Brown, is in his final days of training before his Saturday night rumble with three-time world welterweight champion ANTONIO MARGARITO. Margarito will be making hsis 2010 debut during Cinco de Mayo weekend, in a 10-round super welterweight rumble against "The Amazing" Garcia, headlining Latin Fury 14.

May 8, beginning at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT, from Aguascalientes, Mexico, which will be celebrating the San Marcos Fair.

"This is a big fight which is why I left my home in Texas to work with Freddie Roach at the Wild Card in Hollywood, California,'" said Garcia. "I had six great weeks of hard training and unbelievable sparring. Freddie had me in the ring with Angulo and other great fighters. I am ready to get it on in the big bullring in Aguascalientes and play matador to Margarito."

"Roberto Garcia is a big puncher, something Freddie and I saw right away when he came into the Wild Card to train," said co-trainer Eric Brown. " Margarito is going to get his ass kicked. I promise you that."

"Margarito has been off too long and is not going to win this one," said Julio Marines, Garcia's manager. "Look at what happened to Shane Mosley - off way too long. In fact Margarito has been off as long as Mosley and Mosley paid the price. Sorry but that's what will happen to Margarito too. Ring rust, that kind of stuff. I know in my heart Roberto Garcia will win on Saturday night."

Margarito (37-6, 27 KOs), of Tijuana, Mexico, captured his first world title in 2002, winning the vacant World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight title with a tenth-round TKO of Antonio Diaz. He reigned as WBO champion for five years, successfully defending his title seven times  five by knockout  including victories over world champions Kermit Cintron, Andrew Lewis and Joshua Clottey. After losing the title to Paul Williams in 2007, Margarito dethroned International (IBF) welterweight champion Cintron in a rematch, knocking him out in their 2008 fight. Margarito claimed his third welterweight title when he stopped undefeated WBA welterweight champion Miguel Cotto in the eleventh round of their July 2008 battle, arguably the fight of the year.

Garcia (28-2, 21 KOs), a native of Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico who fights out of Weslaco, Texas, enters this fight riding a five-year, 14-bout unbeaten streak. Garcia possesses impressive power in both fists, where 75% of his victories have come by way of knockout and many of those stoppages produced by devastating body shots. During his impressive streak, Garcia has captured the Caribbean Boxing Federation interim welterweight title and the Texas welterweight title.

It attracts almost 7 million visitors to Aguascalientes every year.
